Customer Questions and Answers for Drain Pump by Bosch

The Drain Pump is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It is responsible for pumping out dirty water from the dishwasher tub at the end of each cycle. The drain pump works to thoroughly empty the tub in a timely manner to facilitate a smooth transition to the next cycle.  

Causes of a bad drain pump can include a clogged impeller or blockage of debris inside the pump housing that inhibits proper water flow. 

Symptoms of a bad drain pump include:

• Incomplete draining of water at the end of cycles 
• Water remaining or pooling at the bottom of the tub
• Loud grinding or clicking noises emanating from the pump area
• Cycles failing to advance or resume properly

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore dishwashers.

Note: Due to a factory design change, connector part# 00623143 may also be needed.
